McCarthy Threatens Endless War With Conservatives

He needs the Dems, he needs to make concessions.

Thats political poison though. It would substantiate all they believe about McCarthy. I just cant imagine it happening. But who knows- something has to give eventually.

I still place my bets on the MAGA wing extracting ironclad agreements from an alternative to McCarthy- such as Scalise.

Like every GOP Speaker since Boehner, even Frist had to go to Pelosi for votes. All thanks to rock ribbed conservatives.

[Orygun]

I mean this is just the start. Imagine when they are talking about raising the debt ceiling. The MAGAs will demand insane requirements to keep the country running. Whoever is Speaker will have to make agreements with the Dems. In other words…will have to be a sell out RINO squish.

Just…so…dumb.

(HINT: Look at this thread. All the libs are backing McCarthy.)

Like hell we are! I am rooting for Jeffries. You know, the guy that keeps getting the most votes?

[johnwk2]

If those Republican who refuse to vote for McCarthy is because of Congress’ uncontrolled spending and borrowing, as they keep asserting, they would ask McCarthy to agree to put the Fair Share Balanced Budget Amendment on the 2023 calendar within one month.

But,I am beginning to think they are full of crap!

Among the modern poisonous Republican trends Newt Gingrich started was shutting down the government while in the minority to try to force Clinton hand’s to cut capital gains taxes and cuts to Medicare. Twice Republicans shut down the government while in the minority to try to force Obama to throw out the ACA.

This is one of the most dangerous tracks we’ve taken as a nation. Shutting down the government to force concessions for minority views should be abolished as an option in Congress by either side. It hands the nation over to loons.

Oh…it’s soooooooooooooo scary! It’s sooooooooooooooooooo dangerous! Well, democracy is at stake! We should all just cave to the swamp to make it all better, huh?

Bullcrap!

It’s NOT a crisis, not even a little bit. That is an old tactic, not falling for it.

It frustrates me watching and listening Fox News and their seemingly blind support for Kevin McCarthy. I hear statements such as, “There are 20 members of Congress holding back the conservative agenda and the business of the nation.” If that perspective is true then it is also true that there is one person holding us back and that is Kevin McCarthy. It also frustrated me when I watched Hannity last night make the statement that he will personally hold Kevin McCarthy accountable if he doesn’t follow through on his promises. I appreciate Sean willing to do that, but the fact is Sean has not been able accelerate consequences for anyone or situation that he’s tried to hold accountable. Benghazi - nobody was held accountable. Hillary and the server and several other crooked things she did - nothing happened. Shifty Schiff is still doing what he always has done. Biden… Hunter… Russia Hoax… And the list goes on of tough talk and no prosecutions. The only thing that did happen is me getting further disillusioned and angry. The fact is if McCarthy’s feet aren’t held in the fire now then he’ll be able to do whatever he wants to no matter how often or how loud me or Sean or anyone else screams about it.

Is it possible that the Hillary server, Benghazi, Hunter laptop, etc were all just nonsense? And maybe that is why nothing came of it? That perhaps all of these conspiracies were just fodder for the masses and never a realistic problem?

I wonder when they will be trotting out the race card to attack the 20 holdouts.

Great- so you’d be cool if a small faction of democrats in the House demanded outrageous things and they wouldn’t vote to raise the debt ceiling until that was done- leading to the government defaulting?

The Dims faux “leader” is the biggest offender.

The American Conservative Union is the gold standard for conservative ratings and has been for 50 years. ACU has McCarthy is not “left” by any stretch of the imagination, Over 84% using the one conservative rating service that matters.

It is MAGA that simply can’t stand the thought of power sharing, even when they’re in the minority. Intractable wingnuts that have zero interest in governing, looking for their next social media endorphin hit.

Notice the thread title?

Current situation is this:
To win the speakers seat McCarthy must either embrace the right and fight the left or do the opposite. He has chosen to do the opposite. He has chosen to fight the right.

What does that tell you?

That the woke libs support McCarthy tells much as well.
